So I had a thought while working on this. Perhaps it would be better to make a couple of template pages. Not templates like the infoboxes but like the Manufacturer Template. Basically a page where users can just copy and paste the code when they create a new page.

On the page we could also include a list of common mistakes to avoid when creating a page. If this idea is liked by admins, I propose making a template for each of the following:
  • Gun
  • Video Game
  • Film
  • Television
  • Anime
  • Actors

This way instead of telling a new user "look at the M1911 page" or look at how the "Call of Duty" page is organized, they could be steered to the template. Again, I don't want to make useless, cluttering pages. I honestly think these could help.
